I almost always try one after 5 days, there's usually always carbonation except for the batch I made after the temperature break when my basement temperature went from 72 down to 62. They aren't fully carbonated, but I still always do it. :)

As long as you stirred it up good and it didn't scorch the bottom of your pot you should be fine. It's a good idea to take the pot off the heat while you add the extract and stir it, then bring it back to a boil so you don't get any scorching.

Brewing up a pecan porter tomorrow. Can't wait!

I'm not sure about your direct questions, but I saw a thread with 2.5 gallon jars the other day https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/2-1-2-gallon-montana-jar-fermenter-200328/ Of course you could probably only do 2 gallon batches in those. I think the easiest way to scale down ingredients is to...

Excellent! Looks interesting for sure. :)
